Norwood Fair celebrates another magnificent year By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - The Norwood Agricultural Society has plenty to celebrate as it quietly approaches its 150th anniversary and members, volunteers, friends and participants took an evening to pat themselves on the back during the organization’s annual dinner and awards gala. While not a record-breaking gate, the 2014 edition of the fair drew over 47,000 people through the gates over three days including more than 19,000 on Saturday and a celebrity visit from genial Canadian comic Rick Mercer on Sunday. Mercer’s Norwood Fair segment on his popular TV show The Rick Mercer Report was promotional gold for the 147-yearold agricultural showcase that led to a “dramatic spike� in interest on their website and Facebook page. When Mercer mentioned the Norwood Fair during one of his segments on television Agricultural Society president Jeff Dornan said he “opened the floodgates� at the CBC switchboard with people urging Mercer to actually visit

the fair. He was game and the rest is Norwood Fair history. The dinner allowed the society to present awards to some of its winners and to honour Marilyn Heming, recipient of this year’s Agricultural Service Award, and Andy Calder who was presented with the George Richardson Memorial Award. Dornan said it was “no secret� that the Norwood Fair “is the envy� of many fairs across Canada and has a strong foundation that has been built over many years. The Agricultural Society did not undertake any major building projects this year but instead invested in the maintenance and enhancement of what already exists with a key emphasis placed on the fairgrounds and infrastructure which are, Dornan noted, the first thing visitors see when they arrive. The evening was also about applauding the “phenomenal community spirit� that imbues the fair and its team of tireless volunteers, a characteristic that upholds Ron Scott of the Norwood Lions Club (far right) presents the Lions Award for most accumulated points in the Norwood Fair’s 2014 beef show to John and Cathy Pearson during the Please see “Norwood� on page 8 Norwood Agricultural Society’s annual awards dinner.

Field house opening not likely to happen until May By John Campbell

flyers. coupons. deals. savings tips.

News - Hastings - Trent Hills officials had hoped the Hastings field house, currently under construction, would be ready for use by early winter but now it looks like its opening will be closer to spring. “The estimate right now is probably May 1,” Scott White, the municipality’s general manager of infrastructure renewal and public works administration, told council January 20. Work on the recreational facility at Fowlds Millennium Park in south Hastings, which began in late September, is “very weather dependent,” White said. “It’s a terrible site over there, the wind is horrendous,” and the contractor, PEAK Engineering and Construction Ltd., is having “a really hard time” coping with the elements. “It’s been really difficult process so far,” White said. “They are dealing with some frost, [and] there’s a lot of rock involved. It’s just not a good time of the year to be working.” Having to cope with high winds while building walls made of masonry for the air-supported dome has presented special challenges he explained. They include anchoring the scaffolding to skids of blocks and wiring tarps together to hold in the heat required to maintain the concrete at a certain temperature while it cures. White added “some delays [have] to do with the contractor themselves and the subs, so they have to take those lumps.” The $4.8-million project involves building a multi-use facility with an artificial turf that can accommodate all sorts of indoor activities, including soccer, tennis, volleyball, basketball, pickle ball and ball hockey. There will also be a driving range for golfers and a walking track as well as

an outdoor soccer pitch and a large parking lot. White indicated work on the site could continue “well into June,” after the building itself is completed. The long-range forecast is for “some pretty cold weather over the next two weeks, and that really ties things up,” he said. Council approved a bylaw that sets summer and winter rates for the field house. Unlimited golf, racquet sports and a walking package will cost $450 a year. Separately, it’s $248.60 annually for a driving range or racquetball sports membership, or $22.60 an hour for members wishing to play tennis. For non-members it’s $12 per half-hour on the driving range, or $90.40 for ten half-hour visits, and $11.30 to book a court for an hour to play badminton or pickle ball.

There’s an extra cost of $2 to $5 for each guest who’s a nonmember. Members will be charged $40.11 an hour to play ball hockey, basketball or volleyball, non-members $45.20. The rate for youth soccer was set at $91.53 per hour prime time and $85.88 nonprime. For adults, it’s $142.38 an hour prime time, and $91.53 non-prime, from October 1 to March 31, and $85,88 for both times from April 1 to September 30. There’s a $2 per day charge to use the walking track, or $20 for the month. To rent the field house for special events, such as clinics or exhibits, the fee is $500 a day, but $375 for a not-forprofit or charitable organization. “Our rates are lower than all of the area domes at this stage,” community services officer Scott Rose said.

News - Warkworth - At 12:30 p.m. January 21 Northumberland OPP received information that an intoxicated customer had been refused service at the LCBO store.

Witnesses observed him drive away in a red SUV. Officers located the SUV east of Warkworth driving in the oncoming lane. The vehicle was stopped and the

driver arrested. He was taken to the Brighton detachment for further tests. As a result of these tests, Wayne Beaver, 75, of Alderville First Nation, is charged with impaired care and control of a motor vehicle and exceeding 80 mgs. He was released and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg on February 18. The OPP would like to remind everyone that we rely on the public to report crime and impaired driving is a crime that should be treated no differently. If you suspect someone is driving or about to drive impaired, call 9-1-1 and report it. If you see that someone is impaired by alcohol or other drugs and intends on driving, strongly discourage them from driving and call 9-1-1 if they insist.

New seniors club president encourages people to drop in By Sue Dickens

News - Campbellford - Let the good times roll is what the new president of the Campbellford Senior Citizens Club aspires to for its membership as he takes on his duties and responsibilities for 2015. “My main concern is to make people happy and see them enjoy themselves. That’s the key thing I want to bring to this club,” Gord Walsh told the Trent Hills Independent. “I’m a people person,” he added with his hallmark grin. Being president of a senior citizens club is a new role for Walsh, one that came only after admitting to himself he is a senior citizen. “I have made a lot of new friends now that I am a member of this club and I made a special friend who made me come Gord Walsh is the new president of the Campbellford Senior Citizens Club and his first priority is to out of my retirement shell,” he said. “I took an early retirement at age 60 make sure everyone who is a member has a good time. He is hoping to encourage more people in the and after that I couldn’t get it into my community to join.

So I figured EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY: CUSTOMER I would come down to the club and see SERVICE/ ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT

what it was all about,” he explained. One year later he was elected the new president. “A lot of members approached me when they heard I had skills and qualifications for the role,” he said. Although he worked full-time at jobs such as at in the assembly line at a Chrysler plant, then for the City of Windsor, he also found time to be a Scout leader and a baseball coach. He was also a union president while working for the city. His track record of being able to mediate and making people laugh has followed him to the clubhouse. “I like to have a good time … I like to play cards and I like to socialize,” he noted. Even though he wants the club to be a place where folks can spend time and have fun, he takes his mission as president seriously. “I oversee the entire operation, all the activities to make sure everything runs smoothly,” he said.

Your concerns are not likely to be acted on, but the hot button issues will be a part of the election campaign. Having expressed concerns for the

environment, I feel sure my name is on the “enviro-terrorist� list. It may also be on the “get the troops out of foreign wars� list. It would be certainly be on the “look after the vets� list, though not on the “birders terrorist list.� You get the picture; they likely have my boot size on record. It is extraordinary that in 2015, this country can still be ruled as a fiefdom by a party which received under four per cent of the votes cast, from around half of the eligible voters. Most of the world’s democracies have elections based on

to keep it profitable. I should add that Norway is comparable in population, the oil fields are hundreds of miles offshore and they have been in the oil business for a much shorter time, all of which shows how poorly the Canadian public has been treated over our heritage. Canada is once again sinking into the Middle East conflict. We learned nothing from the Afghanistan and Libya debacles. In Iraq we will likely increase the numbers as troops are killed, while at home each infantry man is allowed 49 bullets each year to practise what

they do. The air force has raided the Trenton Aircraft Museum for 60-yearold parts for its 40-year-old aircraft. Our submarines cannot float or sink (what they are supposed to do). We have been offered loaned supply ships for the Navy which has none. I could go on. Enough to say speaking loudly without a big stick to back it up is considered stupid, and anyway Canada used to be a peaceable nation. Oh for the good old days. Paul Whittaker, Gilmour

auxiliary units would be used for only one hour each day. Even with auxiliary gas usage rising to 4.5 hours a day, Ivanpah produced less than one-quarter of their forecast. Regulators, have since agreed to increase their gas output by 60 per cent. They have also had their loan extended and are waiting to receive a cash grant from the U.S. Treasury worth 30 per cent of the plant’s cost. Promoters devised a number of reasons to justify missing their forecast. They claim the sun shone less than expected, dust covered solar pads, jet streams, blocked sun, etc. They did not mention thousands of birds roasted by magnified sunbeams cluttering their panels. Even though Ivanpah is beset with financial problems and productivity issues, promoters will still enjoy rich incomes and thrilling bonuses while taxpayers watch their disposable income wither.

By adding in use of fossil fuel and the costs of the original installation, it is estimated no child born today will receive net green energy benefit from Ivanpah. Canada has other problem besides not being located in the Mojave Desert. Most of the income projections are based on fixed rooftop installations, which cannot shift to take advantage

of Ontario’s sunlight. We do not have the problem of dead birds splattered on solar panels but we have short summers, clouds, ice and snow. I suggest, if council opts for this project, voters should remember which members did. Ronald Dabor Sr., Warkworth

The International Monetary Fund, not known as a left-leaning lobby, states that Canadian subsidies to the energy sector now stand at $35 billion each year.

OPINION

I’m eighty-sixth out of a hundred

With allies like these …

Gwynne Dyer

Editorial - Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu was in London last week, telling the Western media how helpful Ankara was being in the struggle against the terrorist “Islamic State” that has emerged in northern Syria and Iraq. Turkey is doing everything it can, he said— although, of course, “We cannot put troops every-

where on the border.” Turkey’s open border has become a sore point with its Western allies, who suspect that President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is deliberately allowing a steady flow of recruits and supplies to the “Islamic State” because he still wants the Sunni rebels, most of whom are jihadi extremists, to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, Syria’s Shia ruler. (Erdogan is no jihadi, but he is a devout and militant Sunni Islamist.) But Erdogan’s motives are irrelevant, because Turkey simply cannot put troops everywhere on its 820-kilometre border with Syria. Or so says Ahmet Davutoglu, and only an enemy of Turkey (or somebody with a grasp of basic mathematics) would say otherwise. I am no enemy of Turkey, but I can do basic arithmetic. If you stationed Turkish troops along the entire length of the Syrian border at ten-metre intervals—that’s enough for a machine-gun nest every 50 metres—it would take about 82,000 soldiers to cover the entire 820 kilometres. The strength of the Turkish army (never mind the navy and air force) is 315,000 soldiers. Maybe Turkey doesn’t have that many machine-guns, but it’s not a poor country, and machine-guns are quite cheap on the international market. Or maybe it would prefer to use some other equipment instead: a good fence and some motion-detectors would help. But the main requirement is manpower, and not very highly skilled manpower at that. The Turkish army has a few other jobs, but not any high-priority ones. Even if you allow for frequent rotation of the soldiers manning the border, it would take much less than half the strength of the Turkish army to shut the border to foreign fighters. Maybe a few jihadis would still get through, but the vast majority wouldn’t. The only reason Ankara doesn’t shut the border is that it doesn’t really want to. Cutting off the flow of jihadi volunteers to Syria would not greatly change the local military balance: IS uses them mostly as mere cannon-

fodder. The point is that Turkey is not fully committed to the destruction of Islamic State, and indeed will give IS deniable help in order to further the goal of a Sunni victory in Syria, despite being part of a “coalition of the willing” that is nominally dedicated to destroying IS. The same goes for Saudi Arabia, although it has sent some token aircraft to bomb IS. Riyadh tries to prevent any Saudi citizens from going to fight for IS, and it certainly does not want the IS brand of radicalism to come to the kingdom. Indeed, Saudi Arabia has already started building a 900-kilometre high-tech wall along its border with Iraq to stop IS activists from entering the country. But it is not a long way from the Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam that is promoted by Saudi Arabia to the “takfiri-salafist” doctrines espoused by the IS militants. Saudi private individuals have been a major source of financing for IS, and until recently Riyadh just turned a blind eye to it. Even now Saudi Arabia doesn’t want Islamic State destroyed if that means Assad gets to stay in power in Syria. Then there’s Iran. In Iraq, where Islamic State controls half the country’s territory and threatens a Shia-dominated regime, Iran and the United States are fighting almost side-by-side to defend Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi’s government. (They don’t actually talk to each other, but they each tell the Iraqis where they are planning to bomb so there are no collisions over the target areas.) But next-door, in Syria, it’s different. Iran has sent troops, weapons and money to defend Bashar al-Assad’s regime, while the United States is still pledged to overthrow it. They both see Islamic State (which controls about a third of Syria’s territory) as an enemy, but Washington still believes that it can create some other, more “moderate” army of Sunni rebels that will eventually take Assad down. And Russia, of course, still supplies Assad with weapons, money and diplomatic support— but despite its own difficulties with jihadi rebels back home in the North Caucasus, Moscow is not participating in the military campaign against Islamic State. Its quarrel with the United States over Ukraine is too fierce to permit that degree of co-operation elsewhere. And so on, and so forth. Not one of the major outside powers that is opposed to Islamic State in principle has a clear strategy for fighting it, nor are they willing to co-operate with one another. So IS will survive, at least for some years to come, despite the horrors it inflicts on the innocent people under its control. It may even expand a bit more, though the end of the siege of Kobane shows that it is far from unstoppable.

By Terry Bush Editorial - I started the new year off quite proud of myself. After spending a fortune on electricity last winter, a fortune meaning over a thousand bucks per month from November to April while burning wood, I thought I might finally have things under control and wouldn’t be complaining about Hydro One. Well, almost. It wasn’t always this way. There was a time just five or so years ago that I didn’t give the monthly Hydro bill a second thought. For 25 years, my wife and I rarely had a bill over a hundred bucks. The highest bill we ever had at our old place was around the $150 mark. Times change. After last year’s financial catastrophe, a few adjustments were in order if either of us planned to retire before age 75. So last fall, we went to work. We started off by searching the Internet for some insulated curtains for the windows in the house, not that we wanted to defeat the whole purpose of the way the original owners designed the place. Although we love the 180-degree view of the river and wilderness, uncovered windows don’t do much to hold in heat so now almost all the windows are covered with thick curtains and kept closed, except for the odd time when we allow a bit of sunlight to sneak in to warm things up. That’s why we didn’t cover the south-facing bay window in the kitchen. When picking out the curtain rods, I made sure to get the ones that would hold the curtains closest to the windows to bottle up that cold air. While the overall effect is somewhat tomb-like and dark, we’re saving money. Well, not as much money as we could because now we find we have to flick the lights on in the middle of the day to find things in the dark rooms. But we’re more energy efficient … honest. That $1,000 investment was just the start. I then bought three cans of expandable foam and filled in every crack or hole I could find walking around the foundation of the house. It looked pretty ugly because as anyone knows, expandable foam does just that, so there are a few calf scour brown knobbly things sticking out here and there especially in the areas where wires go into the house. I had planned to cut those off when the foam dried but it’s only been four months or so, so it might not quite be cured yet. And who wants to cut things right next to meter wires or heat pumps anyway. That’s just asking for trouble. That job done, I put off the next job as long as I could because for one thing, I’m tall and for another thing, I didn’t want to do it. Attics and

tall people go as well together as crawl spaces and tall people. Unless you bang your head on a regular basis, the head calluses just aren’t there and you just know you won’t escape unscathed. But eventually, when the air got a tad frosty, up I went with bale after bale of batts, through a hole just a little bit smaller than a bale of insulation would fit through. Not a pleasant day but I was saving money by spending money. Job done, I still didn’t think we had enough insulation so we got a good deal on some fibreglass and a blower and had a great time back in the attic blowing around some loose fill. Did I mention we have a cathedral ceiling in the house? I felt like a monkey by the time I was done, swinging from triangular truss to truss but when finished, we had about a foot of insulation in the attic. To top things off, I went out and bought some duct wrap too and headed to the crawl space, my now somewhat abused melon in tow. On the plus side, my scalp was well-aerated by roofing nails, so that should get the thinning hair growing again. So after all that work, did we save any money? Well, considering it’s been a milder winter on the whole, it’s pretty hard to make comparisons but December’s bill was down about $400 bucks over last year. Mind you I’ve been running the fireplace insert pretty much wide open all winter and we’ve used more wood than last year but I was feeling pretty good about my accomplishments until Hydro One stuck its nose in my business. They sent me a letter basically saying I sucked compared to my neighbours when it comes to energy usage. I was a little pissed at Angie, Robin and Ian when I found out they were making me look bad but then again, maybe Hydro One isn’t really telling the truth. Hydro says they’re comparing my usage to “a hundred neighbours whose homes are close to mine but not necessarily on the same street.” Considering you’d be hard-pressed to find 100 neighbours within ten kilometers of our house, I don’t think they’re quite being honest in their little letter. So why make me feel like a slacker? My two neighbours to the east aren’t even connected to Hydro. And most of the neighbours on my street heat with oil NOT electricity. So I’m going to call BS on you Hydro One and ask, why are you wasting money sending out this crap when you still haven’t retired your debt according to the charges on my bill? Get your own act together before you waste my money to tell me I’m not efficient. Some nerve, eh?

traditions laid down many generations ago. “We are celebrating an excellent fair [but we] are also celebrating us,” he said. Agriculture Minister and Peterborough MPP Jeff Leal was on hand and reminded guests that when visitors tour the exhibit buildings and see 4-H members in action they “see the next generation of agriculture in this part of Ontario.” Leal noted that the agricultural industry in Ontario produces $34 billion in GDP, second only to the auto sector in terms of contributions to the provincial economy and employs 760,000 people. “You have shown what a group of dedicated people pull together,” added Asphodel-Norwood Mayor Terry

Low. “Working the entire year for just one weekend and when that’s finished start all over again.” “It has grown every year in a fabulous way,” added Havelock-Belmont-Methuen Mayor Ron Gerow.

Common Mistakes when Buying and Selling #7 “I received an offer soon after listing. Should I wait for a better offer?” The ideal scenario when listing is to sell as quickly as possible. However, homeowners receiving an immediate offer may find themselves questioning it, particularly in a Buyer’s market such as ours, where listings average more than 90 days prior to selling. As with any offer, the first offer is negotiable. Though it may be presented soon after listing it don’t fall into the trap of thinking that because it came so quickly, a better offer lies just around the corner. Assuming that you have been properly advised about the market value of your house, you will be able to recognize whether the price is reasonable and negotiate the other terms.

Instead of wondering what may be behind an early offer, recognize that your home was apparently well positioned to garner immediate interest; this is a benefit of working with a good Realtor. A second offer may not come for some time, and may be worse than the first. The adage “The first offer is usually the best offer” frequently holds true.

difference in getting the word out about the CNIB,” she said. “We’re all about programs and services. We’re very unusual compared to some charities out there,” said Deveaux. The CNIB does invest some of its money in medical research, says Deveaux, but places a premium on the support it provides clients through service workers and individualized programs which help increase mobility and enhance the learning skills people need to manage day-to-day things. She’s learned from her relatives that it’s “really hard to admit that you’re losing your sight. It’s the denial. It’s ‘why me?’” And with an aging population that’s happening “more and more,” she adds, but there’s also a “significant number” of children losing their sight too.

News - Havelock - Seventy-five per cent of vision loss is preventable or treatable and yet too many people are cavalier about yearly examinations and regular checkups. The Ontario government’s de-listing of OHIP coverage for examinations for all but children and seniors hasn’t helped. Still, preventative steps like testing can forestall the greater heartache of vision damage and Lions Clubs around the world are in the forefront of initiatives that save sight and prevent blindness. “You do so much for us,” Pamela Deveaux, the CNIB’s eastern regional manager of community giving, told the Havelock Lions during a visit. Deveaux talked about some of the CNIB’s programs, its fundraising, the Lake Joseph Centre summer camp and the ongoing partnership with the Lions. Lions Clubs around the province raised over $2 million for renovations to the main building at Lake Joe which is acknowledged in the centre’s “Walkway to Independence” and a Lions statue in front of the welcome building. Lions also help send children to summer camp and assist with the annual May cleanup. Lake Joe has a special place in Deveaux’s heart and she and her children volunteer there each summer. “It’s kids being kids. It’s a really nice way to just forget about the stresses and being able to live their lives,” she said. Deveaux has been with the CNIB for nine years and during that time has watched both her mother-in-law and father-in-law lose their struggle with vision loss. Her father has Type II Diabetes which can lead to blindness. “You can lose control very quickly,” she said of Type II Diabetes and vision loss. While fundraising is part of her job (they receive less than 30 per cent of revenue from governments), Deveaux says “creating awareness” about vision loss and prevention is equally important. “It’s not all about fundraising; if I can point you in the right direction please share my information because then I can set you up with the right person.” Deveaux has made a point of attending Lions Governor’s cabinet meetings to remind officials of the things Lions Clubs do to support the CNIB. “It’s amazing to get feedback.

Unsung Hastings storyteller says adieu By Bill Freeman

News - Hastings - It’s not too farfetched to say that generations of Hastings readers have developed their passion for books and a welltold story thanks to Ann Sullivan. For over 25 years as librarian and then volunteer, Sullivan has nurtured young readers, guided them toward their literary interests and extolled the virtues of reading aloud and savouring the creativity of authors. Even after retirement from her position as librarian, she’s been

a familiar face during Tuesday morning story and craft times but January 20 marked her last day in the reader’s chair and she was surprised by flowers given to her by the youngsters and caregivers next door at the Ontario Early Years Centre. “We’re certainly going to miss seeing her every week but we hope she’ll come back as a guest storyteller,” said librarian Shirley Coughlan who has worked with Sullivan for over 20 years. “We really appreciated all she has

done; she’s done some great crafts with the kids as well and they’ve enjoyed it.” “She’ll always be part of the library; whether she’s here every week or not, she is certainly a part of the library,” Coughlan said. “Ann loves to bring stories to life. She likes mixing fiction and nonfiction, especially animals and the natural world.” “It is something I’ve enjoyed,” said the modest Sullivan, who has also been a member of the Friends of the Hastings Library

UR O Y T E L DON’ T ASE E L E L C I VEH WN. O D U O CHAIN Y . T U O T S BU

since its inception ten years ago. “Children’s books are delightful so I don’t mind reading them. Kids that age love to hear stories read. I hope I’m improving their skills.” Introducing books to children is a legacy she cherishes especially knowing that in some cases it’s now a second generation of children sitting down with her. “It’s something maybe I didn’t do enough of with my own children and I regret it now,” she admits. Her crafts often relate to the books she reads as was the case with her farewell story, Eric Carle’s classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar. “Parents should be encouraged to read to their kids. I don’t know if all do. Children’s books are enjoyable to read.” Sullivan admires the authors and their flights of imagination. “Imagine what Robert Munsch must be like in person or Eric Carle? The imagination comes out even with a few words on a page.” Joyce Higgs, chair of the Friends of the Library, has known Sullivan for as long as she’s visited the library. “Ann has been an integral part of the Friends,” says Higgs. “Ann is committed to the Friends and their support of the library. Every December the Friends gather at Ann’s large kitchen table for our annual Christmas lunch.” Higgs called Sullivan an “unsung Hastings hero” for her dedication to the library. “I’m not sure who enjoyed the storytelling experience more, Ann or the children. She has always been dedicated

to instilling a life-long love of reading in young children even before they can read. I’m sure there are many who are

enthusiastic readers because of Ann, whether they’re still children or have children of their own.”

Bringing Grade 7 and 8 students to NDHS gets support at meeting By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - Opening up Norwood District High School to Grade 7 and 8 students was seen as a positive step by focus group participants at the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s low enrollment meeting at NDHS. NDHS was once home to Grade 8 students but several years ago the intermediate program was shut down and they returned to their elementary feeder schools. Bringing Grade 7 and 8 students back to the school would be a boon to the school, participants said, even though it would not help secondary school enrollment; it would, however, have a positive impact on support staffing and facility use. There was also a strong call for a high skills major program in agriculture and heavy equipment mechanics, an initiative that’s received support from local MPP and Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs Jeff Leal. “This type of program should be at our school,” said Bernadette Vanderhorst, a focus group participant. “It would really connect well with our rural setting.” Vanderhorst presented KPR officials with letters of support for the program from Leal and Greater Peterborough Economic Development’s agricultural advisory committee.

Enhancing the school’s highly successful video-conferencing initiative linking programs at NDHS and Campbellford District High School is another way of overcoming challenges presented by low enrollment in certain courses. The two schools have given students courses in calculus, biology and data management through video links. Videoconferencing has circumvented the issue of small class size and NDHS and CDHS continue to refine the process, one that’s caught the attention of other schools. “[We need to] “recognize enrollment in schools and how we get the students what they need and still provide the experiences students want,” superintendent of student success Denise Severin added. “Schools are becoming extremely good at that. Norwood has being doing it for a long time.” Providing a site in Norwood or Havelock for alternative learning for older students or those not able to function successfully in traditional classrooms, was another focus group suggestion. Using NDHS for adult education courses and night classes were also focus group ideas. Those are “areas of growth,” the focus groups said. NDHS guidance head Todd Murray wanted the KPR to stop

promoting city school programs in feeder schools in Norwood, Havelock and Hastings. “We lose a lot of potential leaders to other schools,” Murray said. It adds to the difficulty of convincing parents that the school is not going to close, said Murray. Verna Shackleton, former KPR trustee and member of the Community Friends of NDHS, agreed. “It either needs to be the same for everybody or don’t do it all,” she said, referring to NDHS’s Hockey Skills Academy which doesn’t get the same promotional opportunity in Peterborough city schools. Extra-curricular programming is one of the school’s huge strengths, said teacher Mike Sherwin. Sherwin also said the school is “very creative in delivering courses” with vibrant dual credit programs with Fleming College in hospitality and manufacturing. A number of NDHS students noted the “tremendous relationships” they have with staff. “They are not lost in the shuffle here,” one group said. “NDHS has huge potential and it looks like the community wants to come out and help support it,” added Asphodel-Norwood Deputy-mayor Rodger Bonneau.

New television in Millennium Room thanks to donation

By Bill Freeman

News - Norwood - The Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre’s Millennium Room has a brand new 65inch Samsung television thanks to a private donation. The handsome addition to the well-used multi-purpose room was made possible by a donation from Jacqui and Wayne Mack with a further contribution from the Action 200 Committee courtesy of the Norwood Vipers Senior AAA hockey club. A DVD player was also given to the community centre by the Norwood Pentecostal Church Women’s Ministry. “We saw a need and we acted on it,� Jacqui told The Independent following a pho-

to opportunity with township CAO Joe van Koeverden and Action 2000 representative Doug Pearcy. In October the Macks held their 25th wedding anniversary party in the Millennium Room and were unable to use the television set to run a slide show. “Greg [community centre manager Greg Hartwick] and his staff were very nice when trying to get stuff organized [for the anniversary] so I thought it would be a nice way to say thank-you,� Jacqui said. “The community centre is really important to us; we really value this space; it’s lovely and we hold our lady’s gala here every November,� she said referring to the

Positive, passionate response at school meeting

News - Norwood - Apart from a few instances of testiness, the feeling coming out of the Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board’s nearly fourhour-long small enrollment focus group meeting at Norwood District High School was positive. At least 300 people attended the meeting, one of five being hosted by the KPR to look at how low-enrollment schools have adapted to lower numbers and ways to support initiatives they’ve used to counter programming challenges created

by those figures. “We are not here to close Norwood District High,� Superintendent Steve Girardi said several times. “We’re in an information gathering mode right now. We want our system to be vibrant.� The board is visiting other school districts to learn about some of the innovative things they’ve done in small schools, Girardi added. NDHS has 298 students and is projected to have around 282 in 2023-2024. In 2001 it had 528 students; its declining enrollment is not an anomaly

and is a reflection of declining enrollments across Ontario particularly in small communities. A similar meeting is slated for Campbellford District High School February 25 and several Trent Hills observers, including Trent Hills Mayor Hector Macmillan, were in Norwood. Wilson referred to the “cloud� of closure that has always seemed to hang over the school turning that around using the school’s motto “From Darkness into Light.� “Our school is different,� she said. “That cloud seems to have been there forever but at some time it will have to diminish; we see that with our abilities, our strengths and our success through the years. People in the school don’t see that cloud; when you’re here it’s out of the darkness and into the light.� Beyond its resourceful use of videoconferencing, timetabling and huge list of extra-curriculars, Wilson says “motivation, dedication and support� sets it apart from big city schools. “We’re not a big school [and that’s a strength] but we have shown that we support each other when we feel threatened or

put in a corner. We have a strong identity and we feel we need to protect that.� Mayor Low was “overwhelmed� by the show of community support. He was also impressed at how well NDHS staff and administration has worked within the reality of an enrollment hovering at 300 and their ability to deliver wide-ranging programs and extra-curricular activities. “It was fantastic. I think what the community did was come across with a positive message that we’re in this for the long haul. The school is a very vital part of the community; it just can’t go. Former KPR trustee Verna Shackleton, a member of Community Friends of NDHS, believes trustees and KPR officials were “open-minded.� “They [the KPR] are not talking closure, they’re talking about how to get the best for our kids and get the most out of our school and how we can contribute to make it the place we want it to be. Most of the feedback is very positive. “Other schools ask how Norwood is doing it. We’re ahead of a lot of schools and have been looking at this over a number of years because the declines have been gradual and we’ve adapted as we’ve needed to.�

“We really appreciate the value of being able to hold our events right here in the community. We saw a need and acted on it. The television worked fine but it was just dated.� The smart TV replaces the Millennium Room’s original television which was donated to the centre by the Norwood Vipers during their 2004-2005 championship campaign. The Action 2000 committee was instrumental in spearheading the drive to build a state-of-the-art community centre in the township and was in the forefront of raising money for the project. “Action 2000 continues to raise money on behalf of the Vipers so we contributed to

Dr. Paul Giuliani D.D.S.

help top it up,� Pearcy said. “The Vipers, through Action 2000, have donated a lot to the community over the years. “The Norwood Vipers are good for Asphodel-Norwood and this community in more ways than one; it’s entertainment plus doing good for the community. It’s really nice.� The Millennium Room is a “showcase� space in the municipality, Pearcy added, and is well-used by a variety of groups, organizations as well as private functions and family gatherings. The Norwood Agricultural Society was perhaps the first organization to use the new television, replaying Rick Mercer’s Norwood Fair visit during its annual dinner and awards night.

she said with a grin. Wilkins thought she would be a fashion designer but when she went to college she studied to be an interior designer. “I ended up being a floral designer,� she said pragmatically. In the 1970s she did some paintings in watercolour, testing the waters so to speak. Then in 1996 she had a car accident “and couldn’t be a florist anymore,� so she started creating quilt pattern designs which, “when the Internet came along I was able to share globally.� In 2010 she began to make the most of her skills and that is when she did encaustic works of art.

JMW Turner and John Constable were early influences for their narrow range of colours when mixed together are amazing in capturing light and setting a mood. Contemporary painter Wolf Kahn has influenced in his approach to simplicity.� Her show is appropriately called “Expressing the Landscape,� and demonstrates how her art has changed over time. “As I have grown as a painter I’ve become more representational. My landscapes are getting a little bit more abstracted. I wouldn’t call them abstracts, a little on the impressionist side and I am getting a little bolder with my colours,� she said. Many of her paintings capture her impression of area lakes, rivers, streams and marshlands. “Though I’m now working in a more abstracted manner in that I’m simplifying the landscape masses, reducing detail, and relying more on suggestion and colour harmony to give my paintings life. I’m sure I’ll change yet again,� she concluded. There will be an opening reception for Wilkins on Tuesday, January 27, from 6:30 to 7 p.m. Her art will be on display until April 23.

News - Trent Hills - It wasn’t a fire sale but Trent Hills Fire Department got a really good deal on a replacement for a first response vehicle. The department had budgeted $50,000 in 2014 to replace the vehicle it had acquired in 2004 but other commitments delayed a purchase being made until this year, Fire Chief Tim Blake said in a report to council. Just as well. He learned about a 2002 equipment van Hamilton Township was removing from service which it was prepared to sell for $20,000. It was “an ideal unit� to replace the fire department’s first response vehicle, a used 1996 ambulance that has accumulated more than 100,000 kilometres and responded to 2,088 incidents since its purchase more than ten years ago, Blake stated. It was bought to spare having to use a “heavy rescue vehicle� to answer calls to assist ambulances with medical calls, which would have shortened the projected 20-year service life of the $250,000 vehicle. Blake said the replacement vehicle can be put into service with little or no cost above the purchase price. It’s in “excellent shape [and] a very good deal for the price,� Blake said. Please see “Fire� on page 15

The Dog P.A.R.C. offers more than a place to board dogs News - Trent Hills - The question “Who let the dogs out?� never crosses Sonny Jarak’s mind as he walks through the fields beside his home with a pack of dogs at his heels. And he doesn’t mind that he is dogged by his reputation. That’s because he’s a dog lover who has studied their behaviour and examined the psychology of how they interact with each other and with humans and turned it into a business. “I was a dog walker for many years and that gave me that window of opportunity to provide myself with a job but also an opportunity to study dogs,� he told the Trent Hills Independent. “I started working with dogs nobody wanted to walk, those having a tough time with behaviour in general. That’s how things snowballed for me,� he explained. And so that is why he and his wife Melissa Condotta recently decided to move their business to a place where they have room to expand so they bought a house with acreage on Highway 45, near the 9th Concession in Trent Hills.

And so The Dog P.A.R.C. (The Dog Psychology and Rehabilitation Centre) is now open for business and is accepting new clients for boarding as well as socialization and more. The couple brought with them their own pack of dogs, eight altogether. “What I did was put together a group of dogs that a lot of people said couldn’t be put together, said couldn’t be rehabilitated which encouraged me more and motivated me more,� Jarak said. “Today these dogs pay it forward to any new dog that comes here. That’s the greatest gift they could give.� At the Dog P.A.R.C. “there is no dog we can’t help,� said Jarak whose mentor is Cesar Millan, a dog behaviour specialist often referred to as “the dog whisperer,� who has made a name for himself and become something of a TV sensation with a reality show. He also has authored a book called Be a Pack Leader. “Cesar is a big mentor of mine. I followed him for years and had an opportunity to meet him before he

was a celebrity,� said Jarak who will work with dogs with serious behavioural problems. “I have gained a reputation for working with aggressive dogs,� he noted.

“As my business has grown so has my reputation that I will work with pretty much any dog and no dog is a write-off for me ‌ and there’s no shortage of finding dogs with problems,â€? he commented.

Repairs to roof will determine future of Campbellford arena By John Campbell

News - Campbellford - The roof over the Campbellford arena is badly in need of repair but what’s to be done about it will be the subject of a staff report to council. Community services officer Scott Rose got approval January 20 to find out what the costs are for three repair options an engineering firm has recommended be looked at, which Trent Hills council will consider when it

puts together the 2015 budget. Colouring council’s decision will be what to do with the rink, which was built in the mid-1960s, and was described as being functionally obsolete because of its age and “inherent design issues” in a consultant’s report on the building’s condition written in 2007. “How much do we want to spend on it because obviously the options to make it last longer term are going to be fairly more

expensive than some of the shortterm solutions,” Rose said. Once those figures are in hand, “I may also want to ask council at that time if we need to speak with any of the community partners, like the Campbellford-Seymour Agricultural Society, to see if in the future [there is] any kind of opportunity that building could be utilized, what it might be repurposed for,” he told council. The arena sits on land owned

by the agricultural society. The municipality, at the urging of the public and in consultation with the fair board, developed a plan to replace the aging arena with a recreation and wellness centre that includes an ice pad and swimming pool as part of a $33million recreation redevelopment project for all of Trent Hills. “I think it’s important to look at all options,” Councillor Ken Tully said. Mayor Hector Macmillan agreed. The plan proposed for that property doesn’t “really allow for that building to stay but not wanting to delay the project any further I think it’s important to look at what the potential is to repurposing [it],” he said. The are-

na “is valuable to the agriculture society, are there other things that that building could be used for as we move forward?” In a report to council, Rose said the roof “was incorrectly installed with some seams overlapping in the wrong direction” and over time all the seams “have continued to deteriorate and fail in places.” For more than 20 years, there have been “ongoing issues with intermittent leaks” and deterioration of the roof “due to ultraviolet damage to the rubber membrane.” Many temporary repairs have been carried out “but the leaks either reappear or begin in a new seam area.” Bradley Engineering in Nor-

wood did an inspection of the roof and recommended that three options be considered; two of the solutions involve using steel roofing, the other a rubber membrane. The arena roof inspection confirmed the roof framing, trusses and columns “do not appear to be in distress,” Rose said in his report, and the building “is structurally sound.” With repairs to the roof, it “can continue to function as an arena” until council decides “to review possible redevelopment options” for the recreation facility. Macmillan said “it only makes sense to look at what the possibility [is] of the building being used for something else rather than an ice pad.”

Two of the Empire B’s top four scorers play for the Rebels By John Campbell

Sports - Campbellford - A pair of wins over the Deseronto Storm last weekend lifted the Campbellford Rebels into a second-place tie with the Napanee Raiders in the Empire B Junior C Hockey League. Jeremiah Doherty and Gerald Bilker each scored twice and Jon Samis collected a goal and three assists to lead Campbellford to an 8 - 2 win Saturday night at home. Colin Doyle finished with a goal and two assists. Ethan McDougall and

Grant Fry each scored a goal and assisted on another.
Doherty also drew an assist to give him three points for the night. He now sits alone in second place among the league’s top pointgetters, with 47, but is the top sniper with 31 goals. Campbellford outshot the visitors 57 - 22 and scored on both of its power plays. Netminder Cole Mahoney won his 17th game, tops among the league’s goalies, but he ranks fifth with a goalsagainst average of 3.53 per game.

It was the Rebels’ eighth straight win over the Storm this season, who have managed just one win in 35 matches, scoring 69 goals while yielding 263. Win number seven against the league’s cellar dwellers took place January 23 in Deseronto where the home side delivered a strong effort and actually led twice in the game, 2 - 0 and 3 - 2, before dropping a 5 - 3 decision. Samis notched the winner at 6:41 of the third and Doyle added an empty

net goal to complete the victory. Doherty, Andrew Doxtator and Josh Hodge scored three power-play goals within eight minutes in the second period to pull even with the Storm, who were outshot 66 - 31. Doyle also had two assists. His sixpoint weekend propelled him into a tie for third spot in the league scoring race, with 15 goals and 29 assists. With identical records of 20-14-1, the Rebels and Raiders have five games remaining in the regular season. Campbellford plays the Pirates in

Tyke Black Hornets find their groove By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - The Norwood Tyke Black Hornets have found their groove after starting the season with three straight wins which made coaches Ryan Sedgwick, Ken Wilford, Tom Moloney and Bob Wilford nervous, knowing that the Philadelphia Flyers had dismissed their coach after starting the season with three losses. The turnaround began against the tough Centre Hastings Grizzlies but the Hornets held their own and rallied for a 5 - 5 tie with stellar goaltending from Graydon Walst and timely scoring from Blake

Graham. Since the tie with the Grizzlies, Norwood had been on fire racking up five wins and just one loss and team confidence is riding sky high with their record now at 5-4-1. Blake Graham has a Steve Stamkos scoring touch with 19 goals followed by Noah Main with 14. Lilianna Sedgwick has been a playmaker with ten assists. Team defence has been key too with the Black Hornets reducing shots on goal. Cameron Porter, Owen Wilford and Sadie Turcotte have been strong on the blueline while Ethan Harding and Graydon

Walst have alternated as a fourth platoon along the back end. The duo has also shared goaltending duties along with Gavin Small. Strong two-way play by Sheldon Bolton, Wyatt Sucee, Small, Dylan Kelly, Leah Fleming and Cole Martin have also contributed to the team’s explosive turnaround. The team is participating in the Peterborough Tyke Showdown Tournament this weekend playing an 8 a.m. game at the Kinsmen Centre and a noontime tilt at the Memorial Centre. Game three will be Sunday morning. If you want to see Norwood’s

Midget AE Hornets edge Colts 4 - 1

Sports - Norwood - The Norwood Midget AE Hornets went up 2 - 0 over the Campbellford Colts in their best-of-five OMHA series after a close 4 - 1 win January 24. It was a close game all the way through with plenty of chances at both ends of the rink in a wide open, physical game with goalies Doug Carswell of the Colts and Nick Connelly of the Hornets putting on a show between the pipes. There was no scoring in the first period with Brad Smale

and Jacob MacDonald notching goals for the Hornets in the second. Picking up two assists was Eric Sicker with Smale adding a solo helper. Tyler Barrons made it 3 - 0 at the 8:05 mark of the third with an assist from Smale. Campbellford got on the board five minutes later with Mac Giles notching a powerplay marker from Quinn Dunkley and Kyle Hudson. MacDonald made it 4 - 0 on an empty net goal with two seconds left to play.

Dunlops dump Vipers twice

By Bill Freeman

Sports - Norwood - The Whitby Dunlops showed their first-place savvy over the weekend dumping the Norwood Vipers twice including a 7 - 3 home ice win Saturday night that required a determined rally after Norwood jumped out to a 3 - 1 first-period lead. Whitby (12-3-3) fired in five straight goals in the final two frames to ice the win stealing away a possible third Allan Cup Hockey League win for Norwood (2-16-1). Whitby capped the home and home set with a decisive 8 - 1 win Sunday night at the Asphodel-Norwood Community Centre outshooting the Vipers 64 - 45 and giving new goalie David DiGironimo a heavy workout. Whitby has now won 19 games against the Vipers during the team’s last three years in the league, a rivalry that was once close and always intense. Norwood took the 2012-2013 season off. Things looked promising for the Vipers at Iroquois Park in Whitby with a solid first period after giving up a gameopening goal to Whitby’s Peter MacKellar 17 seconds into the game. Norwood replied with three straight starting off with a goal by newly signed Murray Free at the 5:03 mark. Free was mak-

ing his return to the Vipers lineup and his presence gave the team a lift. Chris Johnston, from Darren Doherty, made it 2 - 1 two minutes later. Norwood fired in its third goal on a powerplay at the 18:05 mark with Mike Hanna beating Whitby goalie John Guy. Free and Joe Curry earned assists. Norwood was in charge during the period outshooting Whitby 21 - 16. Whitby managed to tie the game at 3 - 3 in the second period with goals from former Viper Matt Gray and Adam Van Dam. The Dunnies iced the game early in the third with Canisius College grad Steve Birch scoring 43 seconds into the frame followed by Kyle Ventura 4:31 later. Goals by Kyle Musselman and Patrick Jobb rounded out the scoring. Whitby outshot Norwood 39 - 38.

Must-win game for Midget Colts

By Bill Freeman

Sunday’s game was not nearly as close with Whitby streaking out to a 6 - 0 lead before Doherty replied for Norwood at the 14:20 mark of the second. Brett McConnachie led the Dunlops with a pair of goals. Vipers buzz: Norwood travels to Brantford (10-5-0-1) February 8 then returns home for their final date with Whitby on February 8. They close out their home schedule February 14 against Brantford. Stoney Creek (127-0) remains in second place with Allan Cup defending champion Dundas (9-9-0) in fourth spot. Rookie Derek Medeiros (21-19-40) four points up on MacKellar (19-17-36) and teammate Joel Prpic (16-20-36). Norwood captain Darren Doherty (16-9-25) is in a three-way tie for seventh with Whitby’s Kyle Ventura and Shane Terry.

Sports - Campbellford - The Campbellford Midget Colts face a must-win game Friday night in their best-of-five OMHA “CC” play-off with the Bancroft Jets. After losing their first game 5 - 2, the Colts rallied with a 3 - 2 win last week but were downed by the same score in Bancroft Sunday night forcing a big Friday night game in Campbellford (9 p.m.). In their win, the Colts started off slowly before Stewart Battman came up with a little offensive magic to get the team on the board. Picking up assists were Caleb Crothers and Caleb Nicholson. Crothers picked up the team’s second with a superb unassisted effort that left the Jets defenceman standing still. Jacob Trotter notched the Colts’ third goal with assists to Crothers and Nicholson. The Jets pushed back but strong goaltending from Bailey Fife and tight defence preserved the win.

In game three, Campbellford had another slow start but found themselves in a 3 - 0 hole this time, trailing 2 - 0 after the first period and giving up the third goal with ten minutes left in the game and trying to kill off a five-on-three powerplay. Campbellford had the chances but couldn’t get one in the Jets’ net until the 7:30 mark of the third with Hudson Donaghue notching the goal from Battman and Crothers. Crothers made it 3 - 2 with 34 seconds left with an assist to Brandon Herrington. Campbellford continued to push but ran out of time. Fife posted another strong game in net for the Colts who have to find a way to a quick start. The Colts and Jets have played five times this year with four of the games decided by one goal so it’s no surprise that the OMHA showdown has been a nail biter.

Campbellford making bid to become Kraft Hockeyville 2015, win $100,000

Sports - Campbellford - Shut out the last time she tried to have Campbellford recognized as Kraft Hockeyville, a dedicated hockey mom is confident she’ll reach her goal seven years later. “We’re way further ahead this time,” says Amy-Jo Doherty, who spearheaded local efforts to win the cross-Canada competition in 2008 and collect the top prize money of $100,000. What has “made a big difference” in getting her hopes up is that “the whole municipality is more involved and more aware of what’s going on with our recreational facilities,” she said. A major fundraising drive is under way to finance recreational redevelopment in Trent Hills, which has already seen the Hastings arena closed, to be replaced by a field house. The biggest piece in the $33-million proposal fashioned by the municipality is a wellness and recreation complex with ice pad and aquatic centre, to replace the Campbellford arena and outdoor swimming pool. The municipality is counting on federal and provincial funding to cover two-thirds of the cost and it has devised a plan to finance the rest, with help from the community which has been challenged to raise $1 million. Placing first in the national competition sponsored by Kraft Canada would go a long way toward meeting that challenge. The community that wins the grand prize will receive $100,000 to upgrade the home arena, along with a trophy and the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2015, and an opportunity to host an NHL pre-season hockey game next fall as well as be featured on a television broadcast. The estimated retail value of the entire package is approximately $500,000. Finishing second isn’t so bad either, as the prize is also $100,000—and the other eight communities that place in the Top Ten will each receive $25,000 for arena upgrades. Whether the money is used to refurbish the existing rink or build a new one, “everyone’s finally on board,” Doherty said. Submissions in support of Campbellford’s application will be accepted at <www.khv2015.ca> until February 8. Doherty was the first to nominate her community, on January 17, saying Campbellford’s arena built in 1967 is an “old barn [that] is slowly disintegrating,” with a roof that’s in poor shape and a cooling system on “life support” that continues to function only because of a “dedicated arena staff.” She pointed out the facility is used by 150 young people playing minor hockey, along with figure skaters, a Junior C team, a ladies team, and hundreds of schoolchildren. A judging panel will select the top five entries from two regions, East and West. The communities will be announced March 14 during a Hockey Night in Canada broadcast. The first round of voting will then begin and continue until March 23. The top two entries to receive the most votes will go head to head in a second round of voting beginning March 28 and ending March 30. Doherty’s mother, Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan, urged council and the public to

to be named Kraft Hockeyville and Campbellford District High School is “more than happy” to be part of the effort. “It’s pretty much in the hands of the community,” to make the Top Ten, Doherty said. The more the Campbellford hash tag is used on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in support of the town’s nomination, “the more attention we draw to ourselves.” Three minor hockey associations have already pledged their support Kindergarten teacher and hockey mom, Amy-Jo Doherty with votes should Campbellford is leading the charge to have Campbellford chosen Kraft make the Top Ten, she said.

get behind Campbellford’s nomination using social media—the hashtag is #KHV_ice4cford—to catch the attention of the judges and qualify for the first round of voting. Mayor Hector Macmillan said it will take “a huge commitment” by people in Trent Hills to secure the top prize. “I don’t want to discourage anyone [but] it’s not a walk through the park and the community has to be behind it,” he said, recalling what was required to help Hastings win its bid to be named Canada’s Ultimate Fishing Town in 2012. For $100,000, “it’s worth the effort, if we can get people involved,” Kelleher-MacLennan said. “We can do this if we put our mind to it.” Doherty said Campbellford Minor Hockey Association is “on board” with the quest

Chicken Farmers of Ontario launch food bank donation program

News - Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) and its 1,100 family-run farms have launched a new program in support of the province’s hungry. The CFO Food Bank Donation Program will help facilitate the donation of up to 300 chickens per farmer each year to local food banks. The CFO has set an annual donation target of 100,000 chickens worth an equivalent retail value of $1 million. “We’re very excited to have developed this program in partnership with the Ontario Association of Food Banks which will allow us for the first time to have an effective mechanism to contribute to those food bank client families looking to put safe, healthy, locally grown fresh chicken on their table,” says Henry Zantingh, CFO chair. The new program is made possible in part by the provincial government’s new Food Donation Tax Credit for Farmers, introduced with the Local Food Act, which helps promote local food contributions by offering farmers a 25 per cent tax credit for the fresh food they donate to Ontario food banks. Chicken is a supply managed product in Canada so each chicken grown for the commercial market is planned and accounted for. The program will allow each farmer to order an additional 300 chicks annually for their hatcheries specifically for the food bank system using the appropriate tracking systems. The CFO farmer collaborates with the selected food bank then determines an appropriate time period to grow the extra chickens and pre-orders up to 300 extra chicks for that period. Asphodel-Norwood chicken farmer Tim Klompmaker, second vice president of the Chicken Farmers of Ontario, joins Minister of Agriculture Food and Prior to this program CFO and its Rural Affairs Jeff Leal at the announcement of the CFO’s food bank donation program which will see up to 100,000 chickens worth $1 million donated to farmers in the chicken supply management local food banks.

system supported the food bank system primarily through cash donations. “I applaud the Chicken Farmers of Ontario for encouraging their members to donate to food banks through this new campaign,” said Jeff Leal Minister of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs and MPP for Peterborough. Leal said the government established the food donation credit to “reward the generosity of farmers who donate to food banks, student nutrition programs and other community food organizations. “This credit, along with the initiative launched today by the CFO, will help provide fresh, healthy, local food to those who need it most,” he said. Gail Nyberg, Executive Director of Daily Bread Food Bank, lauded the new program. “Being able to provide our clients with healthy food choices is so important and this program will ensure that our clients have a fresh and local protein option on their table,” said Nyberg. “Proteins are one of our most needed food item groups.” The Daily Bread Food Bank provides food and support to almost 200 food programs across Toronto which had over 700,000 visits last year. “There are over 375,000 Ontarians who rely on food banks to provide their basic sustenance each month and unfortunately that number continues to grow each year,” says Carolyn Stewart, Acting Director of the Ontario Association of Food Banks. “This innovative program that Ontario’s chicken farmers have put together will help ensure that more Ontario families will be able to enjoy fresh healthy locally grown meals on a regular basis.”

Theatre Guild to stage The Woman in Black

Entertainment - Belleville After a fairly cheerful story involving spectres in A Christmas Carol and its kindly Spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Future, the Belleville Theatre Guild is preparing to become more wintry with a truly supernatural tale, The Woman in Black. This play, originally a story by Susan Hill and adapted by Stephen Mallatratt, has an almost ghostly history of its own. When Mallatratt was asked to write a play script, he was told set and costumes couldn’t cost more than $1,500 and he could use no more than four actors. Mallatratt did this by making it a play within a play with two speaking actors. In the play Arthur Kipps, trying to exorcise the ghastly events that he endured 30 years ago, goes to an empty theatre to meet a young actor who can turn them into a drama and relieve him from the terrors of his past by re-enacting them. This young actor will play

the younger Kipps himself, a solicitor who comes to the remote town of Crythin Gifford and visits a mysterious house in the marshes to tie up a dead woman’s affairs while Kipps plays the various characters that he himself encountered there. Needless to say, they come to understand why everyone in Crythin Gifford shrinks from the place—and why everyone in the audience may enjoy seeing it on stage but strike it from their list of potential tourist destinations. What makes the play’s history ghostly is that despite its inauspicious beginnings, it has continued to haunt the stage of the Fortune Theatre in London’s West End since 1989 where it is currently celebrating its silver anniversary. Good stories, like ghosts, don’t die. In this production director Diane Burley has cast two of the Guild’s best actors. Robert Lloyd is playing the young actor who is Kipps

in the play within the play and Ian Feltham is playing the actual Kipps himself as well as the various extra characters he remembers from his past. Also to add to the general spookiness of the play, Valerie Pinchin is the woman in black herself—silent but scary. The Woman in Black preview will be Tuesday, February 3, and the show will run from February 5 to February 21. Tickets are $20, $10 for students and $18 for seniors and will be available for sale at the Pinnacle Playhouse in Belleville, and can be ordered by calling the box office at 613-967-1442. For information about this and other upcoming plays at The Belleville Theatre Guild visit the website at <http://bellevilletheatreguild. ca/>.
The Belleville Theatre Guild offers elevator service right into the theatre, a barrierfree washroom, and room in the front row for wheelchairs and other mobility devices.

Checking Out the Ice Trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park families. John Leadston, the park’s assistant superintendent, first created this 1.5-kilometre man-made trail back in 2011, and it’s steadily grown in popularity ever since. It meanders, in a loop, through a wooded area, and that’s certainly a major part of its charm. It has a designated outside area, next to the parking lot, for putting on your skates, with picnic tables to sit at, a cozy bonfire ablaze, and storage shelves provided At Arrowhead Provincial Park on a winter’s day. for your boots. There are even welcoming torches along the on certain nights. An ice-resurfacing route, lighting the pathway, machine helps to keep the trail in good shape. However, because of changing ice conditions, it’s best to call ahead before a visit: 705-789-5105. Many of us have enjoyed a skate on Ottawa’s Rideau Canal, another great COACH & TOURS outdoor activity, but the two experiences are quite different. This particular Ice Trail route is relatively short, and you end up where you started. Also, woods provide protection from the EXPERIENCE THE ROAD TO the winds, and that can be rather comfortEXCELLENCE ing.

Lifestyles - My son and I recently did a day trip to check out the Ice Trail in Ontario’s Arrowhead Provincial Park, which is located near Huntsville. The park itself is just off Highway #11, heading north from Huntsville, at exit 226, and its address is 451 Arrowhead Park Road. The park offers many winter activities, including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and tubing, but it’s the Ice Trail, said to be the province’s longest man-made one, that has made this park such a particularly popular winter destination for

tainly deteriorated, but it was still “a hoot” to get out there and join the other skaters. And what a variety of skaters did I see. There were many young children holding on to a parent’s hand and simply learning the skill. There were also several adults, perhaps new immigrants to our great country, who were also just trying out this new activity. I also watched several parents simply place a young child on a plastic sled/toboggan and enthusiastically drag them about the path as he/she skated. I even saw some baby carriages that had been specifically “modified” for the ice. There was a mixture of “seasoned veterans” on the trail, too, who simply soared along “with the greatest of ease.” Skates can be rented right at park headquarters ($6) and a day pass is $16 per vehicle. This allows visitors use of not only the

Ice Trail itself, but the other park recreational activities, too, including the groomed cross-country ski trails and the awesome snow tubing hill, where you’ll find a long lineup as youngsters and parents await their turn at plummeting down the snow-covered chute. It’s all in a day of family fun at Arrowhead Provincial Park. To reach the park, we decided to travel on Highway #62 north from Belleville to Bancroft, and as we approached this particular destination, we thought we had entered “another world,” for road conditions had dramatically changed up there. The roads had been relatively bare in the south, but we encountered snow-covered roads and snow squalls as we approached Bancroft. I guess that helps to explain this destination’s popularity with snowmobilers. We actually caught up to a snow

plough and followed it for quite some time. As we headed further north, the road conditions suddenly improved again, and the drive through Algonquin Park was quite okay. We had chosen this particular route in the hope that we might see a bear or moose in the park, for a photo op, but this wasn’t to be on this day, so we simply continued our drive through Algonquin Park and on to Huntsville and Arrowhead Park. Our return trip took us south on Highways #11 and 12 to Whitby, and then east on the 401, completing our circuit. It’s a rather long day’s drive, so I’d recommend spending a weekend near the park itself. Then you’ll have ample time to enjoy the park’s activities, including that intriguing Ice Trail.

Lifestyles - Vegetables are just about the most amazing group of plants on this planet. You should grow more of them. Back in the day (which means when I was a young lad growing up on the farm) most families had, at least, a small vegetable plot. Urban dwellers were comfortable with the “green grocer” and sourced out their veggies from those stores. We were also accustomed to eating whichever vegetable was in season. In the winter, if you wanted potatoes, carrots, turnips, parsnips and even beets, you went down to the root cellar. If it was peas, beans, corn or peppers, you opened up a can; sometimes, canned by Mom. I remember not being fond of canned peas and wax beans. It was also an era of chutney, chowder, chow chow, and pickled stuff. The latter was mostly cucumbers turned into bread and butter pickles or ice pickles, occasionally dills; and even beets were erroneously preserved in this fusion. Gentle Reader, many of you are aware of my aversion to eating beets in any form. Recently, I spent a pleasurable afternoon chatting with the folks at the Cramahe Horticultural Society. Barry strongly suggested I try a piece of a very rich chocolate cake, courtesy of Rose. He had a bit of a twinkle in his eye. It was delicious. I had another piece. It was laced with shaved beets. You know, GR, the most benign, gentle mien often disguises a mischievous bent and this rings true with the aforementioned gentlemen although his intentions were honourable. Thank you to the Cramahe Hort folk for hosting us. Today, we go to the supermarket and purchase fresh vegetables from around the world whenever we want them. We still appreciate new potatoes and first cobs of sweet corn, but we’ve become a titch jaded in our overview of these foods. We now expect them to be available year round with little thought to their origin. We’ve become dependent upon the stores to provide us with all of our food. Seldom do we see vegetable

gardens in the suburban setting. However, the good news is that Conway and Brannen from the Department of Geography, University of Toronto-Mississauga produced a very encouraging study in 2012 that indicates land set aside for homegrown vegetables is increasing significantly. In columns past, we’ve chatted about traditional vegetable gardens and we looked at incorporating edibles into our flower gardens. Well, Gentle Reader, here’s a new reason for you to grow your own, vitamins and minerals. It wonders me sometimes how we have forgotten the reason we ate certain foodstuffs long before the daily drill of popping a pill became “enculturated” into our daily life.

Workshops explore agricultural potential

At a recent small business workshop held at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library, OMAFRA consultant Karen Fisher (standing) was joined by colleagues Heather Candler (OMAFRA) and the Small Business Centre’s Charlene Bessin. A second session is planned for February 17. By Richard Turtle

News - Stirling - Organizers and participants in the first of a pair of business workshops scheduled at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library were impressed by the turnout as well as the number and variety of ideas shared across the table. Organized by the Small Business Centre, Trenval Business Development Cor-

poration, Harvest Hastings, and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), the twopart workshop explores opportunities for rural and agribusiness as well as the importance of planning and preparation and the need for a solid business plan, says Small Business Centre Managing Consultant Charlene Bessin.

Held earlier this week, the first session, Exploring Value Added Opportunities, attracted about a dozen budding entrepreneurs from across the region, many directly involved in the agriculture sector. And all three presenters agreed there are new and growing opportunities in the food sector, many involving specialty products, that can supplement existing farm incomes. In adding value to existing products or services, or increasing product or service lines, a greater business potential can often be realized, Bessin says, noting the sessions in Stirling are designed to help small businesses through the process of assessing and selecting the best ideas and taking the necessary steps to make them a reality. With information presented by Bessin and colleagues and OMAFRA representatives Heather Candler and Karen Fisher, participants were offered an introduction to the world of business, the considerations required prior to startup and the opportunities that may exist in the immediate area. But those are not always easy to spot. Notes Fisher of the planning stages of the process, it is often a matter of “organizing your chaos” in order to move forward. And often that organizational work will help create a clearer business picture through a better understanding of the market and the forces in play. Citing several examples of local small business success, Bessin noted, “there are

some great examples of people who’ve started right here.” And the Small Business Centre, she says, “does a lot of counselling and we always make sure that everyone has a business plan. You need to know where your money is.” The second session, Market

Considerations, scheduled again at the Stirling-Rawdon Public Library, will be held February 17 beginning at 9 a.m. and will focus on food processing demographics, food safety and labelling requirements and nutrition. Seats are limited. Registration

W. Garfield Weston Foundation at Loyalist

News - Belleville - Loyalist College has announced that the W. Garfield Weston Foundation has committed an additional $160,000 to help another 40 post-secondary students to earn a skilled trades diploma. Introduced at Loyalist in 2013 with a $240,000 commitment from the Foundation, the Fellowship began as a three-year pilot project, providing financial support to 60 students, including 30 in diploma programs and 30 in apprenticeships. Given the Fellowship’s success in helping participants to complete their skilled trades education with significant tuition and bursary incentives, the W. Garfield Weston Foundation is extending funding for post-secondary students for another two years. This will bring the total support through the Fellowship

program at Loyalist to $400,000. “The Foundation is responding to the skilled tradesperson deficit in Canada by supporting college students across Canada,” said Eliza Mitchell, Director of the W. Garfield Weston Foundation. “Loyalist College exemplifies this program, providing an innovative approach in helping students gain the education, experience and qualifications they need for a successful career. “A unique system of incentives encourages students to complete additional training, thereby boosting their qualifications and future employment opportunities. Standing as a model for other colleges across Canada, this successful program supports motivated students, changes lives and builds a stronger workforce.” The application for the W.

Garfield Weston Fellowship programs starting in September 2015 is available at <loyalistcollege.com/programs-and-courses/ skilled-trades-and-technology>. Deadlines for applications are May 29 for post-secondary programs and July 31 for apprenticeships. The W. Garfield Weston Foundation is a private Canadian family foundation, established in the 1950s by Willard Garfield Weston and his wife, Reta. In 1924 Garfield inherited his father’s company and established baking and retail businesses throughout Canada and in many parts of the world. The founders believed that, as the funds are generated through the hard work and success of his Canadian companies, grants should be given in Canada for the benefit of Canadians.
